Wow the figures Car and Driver are the quickest yet from any mag so far. 9.7sec and 142mph are in the league of a 918! The 0-200kmh time looks to be about 7.8sec and 0-300kmh time about 21sec approx.

Wildly quick. Perfect machine.

Is this Ford GT a world sportscar championship (or whatever the name is now…) spec car, or it is a free non-regulation version?

Is this Ford GT a world sportscar championship (or whatever the name is now…) spec car, or it is a free non-regulation version?

It is the latter. Still mighty impressive time.

There's a great semi-slick test in the latest AutoBild Sportscars issue.
M2 CS (275/35 R19 - 285/30 R20)

• The winner of the test, the Trofeo RS, was the second fastest - just behind the slick. It had the best endurance, and it's the second cheapest tire in the test.
• The Chinese tires handled very good in both dry and wet. The Nankang wasn't very precise and it would trigger ABS during dry braking.
• AO52 had the best wet handling. But it wasn't very precise due to soft compound.
• The Cup 2 R didn't perform so well, given that it was developed for M4 CSL. They found its compound to be quite hard.
• Both of the Michelins suffered from rubber pickup in the endurance test.
• The slick tire had terrible braking performance due to it triggering ABS. It also never got into its operational window during the endurance test, which was driven at 80% pace.
